1 RS-232C communications is only supported for Bulletin 900-TC8 (Cat. No. 900-TC8232 option board installed). All controllers support RS-485 communications
(32 linked/networked devices) by appropriate option unit or correct controller catalog number.
 The baud rate, data bit length, stop bit length, or vertical parity can be individually set using the communications configuration function gr
